The Minister of Municipal Affairs, Rural Affairs and Housing has approved the updated list of municipal violations and penalties, which aims to improve the quality of services, enhance the level of cleanliness and public health in cities, and promote transparency in the municipal sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ministry explained that the new amendments will contribute to raising compliance rates, providing a suitable and fair environment for competition among commercial establishments, and reducing visual distortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9 sets of violations: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The ministry clarified that the new amendment included 9 sets of violations, including violations of commercial activities, violations of public hygiene and commercial waste transporters, violations of roads and streets, construction violations, violations of fuel stations, violations of municipal fees related to a percentage of sales, violations of advertising and signage, violations of sales, and violations of health facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She added that 127 violations \u2013 which equates to \u2013 43% of the total number of violations \u2013 are subject to suspension of the application of sanctions against them, and instead, the violator is only warned for the first time before imposing the sanctions, in line with the municipal sector\u2019s commitment to raising compliance rates with regulations, laws, and requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deadline for resolving the situation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The decision guarantees shops and establishments covered by the list a period ranging from (90 to 180) days to adjust their conditions, with the current fine and penalty list for municipal violations to remain in effect until the end of the period for the adjustment of conditions for each group of municipal violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Features of the updated list:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The updated list features clearly defined text regarding violations and penalties, and categorizes violations according to the municipalities and departments. The ministry considered the difference between the economic levels of the cities when determining the fines, and accordingly classified the fines into five levels, in which the value of the fine varies according to the economic status of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She also emphasized that the increase in the number of violations that are merely warned about without the imposition of a fine when committed for the first time will enhance awareness of compliance with regulations, municipal laws and requirements, as the fine specified in the table will only be imposed upon the second violation after the offender has been informed of the complex nature of the violation and the resulting penalty and consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, the stability of the fine value would avoid disparities between penalties for similar offenses and limit the discretion of observers; the degree of the penalty would be appropriate to the severity of the offense and its consequences; the table specifically specifies the subsidiary penalties applied to certain offenses; and to view the table of municipal offenses and penalties, visit Link<\/a> .<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reading time: <\/span> 2<\/span> Minutes<\/span><\/span>The Minister of Municipal, Rural, and Housing Affairs approved the updated schedule of municipal violations and penalties, which aims to improve the quality of services, raise standards of cleanliness and public health in cities, and enhance transparency in the municipal sector.
